Lexus Hybrid Drive
UVF45/46 SeriesForeword
This guide was developed to educate and assist dismantlers in the safe handling of Lexus
LS600h/LS600hL gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles. LS600h/LS600hL dismantling procedures are
similar to other non-hybrid Lexus vehicles with the exception of the high voltage electrical system. It
is important to recognize and understand the high voltage electrical system features and specifications of
the Lexus LS600h/LS600hL, as they may not be familiar to dismantlers.
High voltage electricity powers an electric motor, generator, electric inverter compressor (for air
conditioner) and power control unit. All other conventional automotive electrical devices such as the
headlights, radio, and gauges are powered from a separate 12 auxiliary volt battery. Numerous
safeguards have been designed into the LS600h/LS600hL to help ensure the high voltage, approximately
288 Volt, Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Hybrid Vehicle (HV) battery pack is kept safe and secure in an
accident.
The NiMH HV battery pack contains sealed batteries that are similar to rechargeable batteries used in
some battery operated power tools and other consumer products. The electrolyte is absorbed in the cell
plates and will not normally leak out even if the battery is cracked. In the unlikely event the electrolyte
does leak, it can be easily neutralized with a dilute boric acid solution or vinegar.
High voltage cables, identifiable by orange insulation and connectors, are isolated from the metal chassis
of the vehicle.
Additional topics contained in the guide include:
N Lexus LS600h/LS600hL identification.
N Major hybrid component locations and descriptions.
By following the information in this guide, dismantlers will be able to handle the LS600h/LS600hL
hybrid-electric vehicles as safely as the dismantling of a conventional non-hybrid automobile.

iiiAbout the LS600h/LS600hL
The LS600h/LS600hL sedan joins the RX400h and GS450h as a hybrid model for
Lexus. Lexus Hybrid Drive means that the vehicle contains a gasoline engine and an
electric motor for power. The two hybrid power sources are stored on board the
vehicle:
1. Gasoline stored in the fuel tank for the gasoline engine.
2. Electricity stored in a high voltage Hybrid Vehicle (HV) battery pack for the
electric motor.
The result of combining these two power sources is improved fuel economy and
reduced emissions. The gasoline engine also powers an electric generator to recharge
the battery pack; unlike a pure all electric vehicle, the LS600h/LS600hL never needs to
be recharged from an external electric power source.
Depending on the driving conditions one or both sources are used to power the vehicle.
The following illustration demonstrates how the LS600h/LS600hL operates in various
driving modes.
During light acceleration at low speeds, the vehicle is powered by the electric motor.
The gasoline engine is shut off.
During normal driving, the vehicle is powered mainly by the gasoline engine. The
gasoline engine also powers the generator to recharge the battery pack.
During full acceleration, such as climbing a hill, both the gasoline engine and the
electric motor power the vehicle.
During deceleration, such as when braking, the vehicle regenerates the kinetic
energy from the wheels to produce electricity that recharges the battery pack.
While the vehicle is stopped, the gasoline engine and electric motor are off, however
the vehicle remains on and operational.

7Lexus Synergy Drive Operation
Once the READY indicator is illuminated in the instrument cluster, the vehicle may be
driven. However, the gasoline engine does not idle like a typical automobile and will
start and stop automatically. It is important to recognize and understand the READY
indicator provided in the instrument cluster. When illuminated, it informs the driver
that the vehicle is on and operational even though the gasoline engine may be off and
the engine compartment is silent.
Vehicle Operation
N With the LS600h/LS600hL, the gasoline engine may stop and start at any time while the
READY indicator is on.
N Never assume that the vehicle is shut off just because the engine is off. Always look for
the READY indicator status. The vehicle is shut off when the READY indicator is off.
The vehicle may be powered by:
1. The electric motor only.
2. The gasoline engine only.
3. A combination of both the electric motor and the gasoline engine.

8Hybrid Vehicle (HV) Battery Pack and Auxiliary Battery
The LS600h/LS600hL features a high voltage Hybrid Vehicle (HV) battery pack that contains
sealed Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery modules.
HV Battery Pack
N The HV battery pack is enclosed in a metal case and is securely mounted in the trunk area
behind the rear seat. The metal case is isolated from high voltage and concealed by fabric
covers.
N The HV battery pack consists of 20 low voltage (14.4 Volt) NiMH battery modules
connected in series to produce approximately 288 Volts. Each NiMH battery module is
non-spillable and sealed in a metal case.
N The electrolyte used in the NiMH battery modules is an alkaline mixture of potassium and
sodium hydroxide. The electrolyte is absorbed into the battery cell plates and will not
normally leak, even in a collision.
N In the unlikely event that the battery pack is overcharged, the modules vent gases directly
outside the vehicle through a vent hose.

10High Voltage Safety
The HV battery pack powers the high-voltage electrical system with DC electricity. Positive
and negative orange colored high voltage power cables are routed from the battery pack, under
the vehicle floor pan, along the propeller shaft and transmission tunnel to the power control unit.
The power control unit contains a circuit that boosts the HV battery voltage from 288 to 650
Volts DC. The power control unit creates 3-phase AC to power the motor and generator
located in the transmission. Power cables are routed from the power control unit to each
high-voltage motor (electric motor, electric generator, and A/C compressor). The following
systems are intended to help keep occupants in the vehicle and emergency responders safe from
high voltage electricity:
High Voltage Safety System
N A high voltage fuse * provides short circuit protection in the HV battery pack.
N Positive and negative high voltage power cables * connected to the HV battery pack are
controlled by 12 Volt normally open relays *. When the vehicle is shut off, the relays
stop electricity flow from leaving the HV battery pack.
WARNING:
・ The high voltage system may remain powered for up to 10
minutes after the vehicle is shut off or disabled. To prevent
serious injury or death from severe burns or electric shock,
avoid touching, cutting, or opening any orange high voltage
power cable or high voltage component.
N Both positive and negative power cables * are insulated from the metal chassis, so there is
no possibility of electric shock when touching the metal chassis.
N A ground-fault monitor continuously monitors for high voltage leakage to the metal chassis
while the vehicle is running. If a malfunction is detected, the hybrid vehicle computer *
will illuminate the master warning light in the instrument cluster and indicate
“CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM” on the multi-information display.
N The HV battery pack relays will automatically open to stop electricity flow in a collision
sufficient to activate the SRS.
*Numbers apply to the illustration on the following page.

WARNING:
・ The high voltage system may remain powered for up to 10
minutes after the vehicle is shut off or disabled. To prevent
serious injury or death from severe burns or electric shock,
avoid touching, cutting, or opening any orange high voltage
power cable or high voltage component.
Necessary Items
N Protective clothing such as insulated gloves (electrically insulated), rubber gloves, safety
goggles, and safety shoes.
N Insulating tape such as electrical tape that has a suitable electrical insulation rating.
N Before wearing insulated gloves, make sure that they are not cracked, ruptured, torn, or
damaged in any way. Do not wear wet insulated gloves.
N An electrical tester that is capable of measuring DC 750 Volts or more.
13Spills
The LS600h/LS600hL contains the same common automotive fluids used in other non-hybrid
Lexus vehicles, with the exception of NiMH electrolyte used in the HV battery pack. The
NiMH battery electrolyte is a caustic alkaline (pH 13.5) that is damaging to human tissues.
The electrolyte, however, is absorbed in the cell plates and will not normally spill or leak out
even if a battery module is cracked. A catastrophic crash that would breach both the metal
battery pack case and the battery modules would be a rare occurrence.
A caustic alkaline is at the opposite end of the pH scale from a strong acid. A safe (neutral)
substance is approximately in the middle of this scale. Adding a weak acidic mixture, such as
a dilute boric acid solution or vinegar, to the caustic alkaline electrolyte will cause the
electrolyte to be neutralized. This is similar but opposite to the use of baking soda to
neutralize a lead-acid battery electrolyte spill.
A Lexus Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) is attached to this document.
N Handle NiMH electrolyte spills using the following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
• Splash shield or safety goggles. A fold down face shield is not acceptable for acid
or electrolyte spills.
• Rubber, latex or nitrile gloves.
• Apron suitable for alkaline.
• Rubber boots.
N Neutralize NiMH electrolyte.
• Use a boric acid solution or vinegar.
• Boric acid solution - 800 grams boric acid to 20 liters water or 5.5 ounces boric
acid to 1 gallon of water.

IGCT No. 1
system. Be sure to wear insulated fuse
gloves because high voltage is not
shut off inside the HV battery.
When it is possible to remove the
service plug grip, remove it and continue the procedure.
6. After disconnecting or exposing a high-voltage connector or terminal, insulate it
immediately using insulating tape. Before touching a bare high-voltage terminal,
wear insulated gloves.
7. Check the HV battery and nearby area for leakage. If you find any liquid, it may be
strong alkaline electrolyte. Wear
rubber gloves and goggles and
neutralize the liquid using a saturated
boric acid solution or vinegar. Then
wipe up the liquid using waste rags
etc.
8. If the electrolyte comes into contact
with your skin, wash the skin
immediately using a saturated boric
acid solution or a large amount of water. If the electrolyte adheres to any article
of clothing, take the clothing off immediately.
9. If the electrolyte comes into contact with your eye(s), call out loudly for help. Do
not rub your eye(s). Instead, wash the eye(s) with a dilute boric acid solution or a
large amount of water and seek medical care.
10. With the exception of HV battery, remove parts by following procedures which are
similar to conventional Lexus vehicles. For the removal of HV battery, refer to
